Review of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1: A solid, albeit sluggish, comeback with more discussion and less action

There are high hopes for House of the Dragon’s nearly two-year return. The first season of the prequel series to Game of Thrones raised the bar by placing viewers squarely in the thick of action and including rich character development spanning about 20 years in the Dance of the Dragons. The second season picks up just after the horrific events of the first, in which Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and his dragon killed Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) youngest son, Lucerys (Elliot Mitchell). Now, intent or lack thereof is irrelevant. There’s been bloodshed, and the fallout will be far bloodier.

Fans of Game of Thrones may be reminded of the strategic war table scenes in which the protagonists scheme and plot in poorly lit interiors and consult council to choose the best course of action in the first episode of the second season, “A Son for a Son.” This time around, viewers should anticipate a more engaging comeback if the first episode is any guide. To be honest, it’s a pleasant diversion from the previous season’s unrelenting presentation of the developing conflict between the Blacks and the Greens. This season seems to be taking a much more methodical approach, focusing primarily on the internal conflicts. Peace is undoubtedly unattainable, but in the pursuit  for revenge, what also meets the eye is the reclamation of power, and the expression of grief.

Emma D’Arcy is fierce from the moment they first appear, adding a hint of melancholy and sorrow to the cunning world of things. However, Daemon (Matt Smith) is not to be trusted because he has his own ideas about who will succeed him. He doesn’t understand why pursuing retribution must wait when it may be completed right away. He reasons, “The mother grieves as the queen shirks her duties.” Additionally, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her daughter Helaena (Phia Saban) need to go beyond being remorseful spectators. By the end of this grim tale, we realise exactly why Helaena says she is afraid of rats.

The first episode immerses viewers in the discussions and betrayals that take place in the council chambers and chambers. It takes a confident and poised stride towards intensifying hostilities. While some viewers may be taken aback by showrunner Ryan Condal’s approach, which emphasises character-driven intrigue over grand schemes and spectacular action scenes in the beginning of the season, the show delves deeply into themes of war, betrayal, and legacy. We do get a deeper look at the hopelessness and inner demons of these men who pleasure in killing and retaliation, which makes the first episode promising even though it is a little too inconsistent and constrained for its own benefit. Even now, the first episode is personal and moving, laying  the necessary groundwork for the battles that will inevitably follow as the season develops.
